"Rabi'a," Hasan asked, "how have you attained such a degree of holiness?" Rabi'a replied: "By losing in him all that I have attained." Hasan asked, "How do you know God?" Rabi'a replied: "You want to know how to know God. I know God, without knowing how to know him."
- Attar: Rabi'a
Troubles will be troubled before the man who faces them Like the determined bullock that wades through every difficulty. Though massed upon him like a mountain, A man's afflictions will be afflicted by his undaunted will.
- Tirukkural 63: 624-625
You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
- Mary Oliver
Dreams that do come true can be as unsettling as those that don't.
- Brett Butler, 'Knee Deep in Paradise'
tears that you spill, the sorrowful, are sweeter than the laughter of snobs and the guffaws of scoffers.
- Kahlil Gibran
There is no greater dignity than that of the man who declares, "I will never cease in laboring to advance my family." Perseverance and sound understanding-- These two are what exalt a man's family. When a man declares he will advance his family, God Himself will wrap His robes and lead the way.
- Tirukkural 103:1021-1023
The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
- Benjamin Disraeli (submitted by sireneh)
Ask your angels for help in the very thing you think is beyond any being's power. Maybe you won't get exactly what you asked for, but you will get what will help you most--an angel's healing love.

The human state is not about being perfect. We are in this life to learn to grow. We do so best by finding God's plan for us and following it. It is by no means easy. Yet learning, growing overcoming, and then experiencing transformation, can be one of life's greatest joys. It certainly makes life interesting.
